Uso abusivo de agrotóxicos no Brasil: obrigatoriedade de licença ambiental especial para plantio em áreas de risco, como mecanismo de controle da mortalidade de abelhas

Abstract

Given the critical importance of pollinating insects, especially bees, for human life and ecosystems, we are faced with the following problem: is there a need for specific regulation to mitigate the impacts of agro-industrial and agribusiness activities on these insects? The central hypothesis is that, due to the relevance of pollinators for biodiversity and food production, it is imperative to establish regulatory standards that protect these species. The objectives include understanding the formation and operation of the agro-industrial and agribusiness complex, identifying the impacts of these activities on pollinating insects, and evaluating the existing national legal apparatus to determine the need for new regulations. The justification for the study lies in its great academic and legal-social relevance, based on conceptual authors such as Grossi and Marés regarding land and the emergence of the agroindustrial complex, complementing Kageyama and Lima, and addressing the perspectives of the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988 and the regulations on agricultural licenses and regulations, to verify additional regulations regarding the impacts of agricultural activity. The methodology adopted was a qualitative-quantitative approach, with greater emphasis on qualitative analysis, due to the nature and perspective of the research. The method used was hypothetical-deductive, seeking to test the hypothesis through the analysis of the data found and possible regulatory legislation, if the need is proven. It is concluded that specific regulation can be crucial for the protection of pollinators and, consequently, for environmental sustainability and food security.
